Farewell Mr. Noodle

March 31, 2003 9:17 PM

Mr. Noodle's Brother Mr. Noodle a.k.a. Michael Jeter passed away over the weekend. Those of us with young children glued to Elmo's World will know him on sight. With everything going on in Iraq, we don't need any more bad news, but the loss of this actor has really effected me. Silly Noodle...you'll be missed.

I didn't know he was in Elmo's World, but I'll never forget the heart wringing work he did in The Fisher King.

I recall "Evening Shade" mostly. Very nice work.

My first Mr. Noodle encounters were with Jeter as Mr. Noodle, so for the longest time I thought that "Mr. Noodle's brother Mr. Noodle" was just a silly gag and there was no other Mr. Noodle. I was honestly disappointed when I finally saw the "real" Mr. Noodle.
Did you get all that?

danO, we've already met Mr. Noodle's sister Ms. Noodle in some episodes of Elmo's World. She's pretty good 'n' goofy. Oof, I'm officially an Elmo nrdd. la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la -- stuck in my head all day.
Man, I wish there was more Elmo questions on Jeopardy. I'd be in the monet.

He rocked in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" as the speaker on drug users in the scene with the law enforcement convention.

He was pretty creepy in "South of Heaven, West of Hell." Watching him trying to rape a girl--I'm thinking--damn, that's Mr. Noodle's brother Mr. Noodle! A very odd movie.

The lovely Ms. Noodle.

I just found out about this yesterday. My wife and I have been fans of Jeter's work for sometime. When I had heard that he was to be cast in "The Green Mile", I couldn't imagine a better choice.

He will be missed greatly. His was a true talent
